Off the line, the M5 Touring hits 100 km/h in 3.55 s versus 4.44 s for the Model 3 Long Range AWD. At this point, the M5 Touring leads by 0.88 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the M5 Touring is doing 165 km/h against 143 km/h for the Model 3 Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.79 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the M5 Touring crosses the line in 11.38 s versus 12.80 s. The 1.42 s gap represents roughly 67 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the M5 Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 232 km/h versus 196 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the M5 Touring finishes in 20.40 s versus 23.49 s, with a 3.09 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the M5 Touring is capped at 305 km/h, the Model 3 Long Range AWD at 233 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.29 kg/hp vs 5.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.85 seconds. The 0.88 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
